Souls.

This one is for all of you who do not believe in a God or a higher being of any kind...and Im asking because I am actually curious. Where do you believe your soul came from then? And what do you believe happens to your soul once you die ?

There are atheists who might, just not many on this string so far. If someone says they are an atheist all you really know about them is they are saying they don't believe in any gods. Other supernatural phenomena isn't included in the definition. For the record I don't buy into ghosts, spirits, demons or monsters in the closet. Although I do believe in closet monsters.

^^^ Awesome question. I believe there is more to us then just a genetic code. There is a part of us that goes beyond that. A spirit, or essence that we are all created with. I believe that essence was Created by God and we are each given one at conception. So i guess I would define it as a human beings very essence.

I think I asked this once before out of curiosity, but the response I got was most people who do not believe in God, do not believe they have souls. Some atheists do though. I guess it's an individual belief/choice.

"Ok Im hearing a lot of stuff I have never heard before...which is why I asked the question. The reality is I dont really know anyone who doesnt believe in God. So I was not aware that atheists did not believe in human souls."

Some atheists do believe in souls, and some do not. Atheism is merely the lack of a belief in god, but that doesn't mean atheists can't and don't have a range of beliefs about other matters.
